Well, that’s one way to get people’s attention to submit their mail-in ballots correctly... -- (link) - znufrii needs to cancel his gym membership Sep 29, 09:13

is Spectre worth watching? If I've never seen it? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 29, 09:08 13
- It's... fine? It has some good scenes and some not-good elements, that are better discussed after you've seen the movie. - Roger More Sep 29, 09:15
- It wasn’t very good. They make the plot way too convoluted. Craig’s has two good (Skyfall was amazing) and 2 bad. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 09:13
- I'd say it's what all the Bond movies have been building to for years. - Mop Sep 29, 09:12 6
  - Shut yo mouth! -- nm - Roger More Sep 29, 09:16
  - Skyfall is Craig’s peak by a mile. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 29, 09:15 1
    - I suppose we can all at least agree that Quantum of Solace was worst. Even the title doesn't make sense. -- nm - Mop Sep 29, 09:15
  - I disagree that it achieved that pinnacle (Casino Royale is tops), but they were definitely trying. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 29, 09:14
  - Goldeneye is one of my alltime favorites. - Strongbad Sep 29, 09:14 1
    - Things started going goofy with Roger Moore. He was a good straight man for the humor. But I never liked Goofy Bond. -- nm - Mop Sep 29, 09:15
- yes -- nm - budice Sep 29, 09:11
- I'd love to answer that question, but I remember absolutely nothing about that movie - Guigue Sep 29, 09:10
- It's fun. Better than Quantum of Wtfery. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 29, 09:10 1
  - Yeah, I liked Casino. Quantum was forgettable. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 29, 09:12
did we talk about this yesterday: One in three Americans said they had no plans to vaccinate their kids against the flu, a new poll - tRuMaN Sep 29, 09:07 1
- That number surprises me not at all. I know plenty of people at work who are highly reluctant to get a flu shot for themselves. - The Masked Baron Sep 29, 09:10
I might be the last person to know this, but TIL that Prince Charles previous dated Diana's older sister. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 09:06 2

If I owned a store, my billboard would say, "We Sell Nothing with Pumpkin Spice Here!" - David Sep 29, 08:56 7
- and then you would only sell pumpkin spice items? -- nm* - tRuMaN Sep 29, 09:02
- What would the store name be? Hatey's Antifun Grotto? - Beryllium Sep 29, 09:02 3

  - Yes but Trump cannot win the election without Florida, so... -- nm - David Sep 29, 08:48 8
    - He can't win if his elderly voters all die. -- nm - loosilu Sep 29, 08:52 7
      - Most of them will make it a month. They're not needed after that and should die for the sake of their country. -- nm - David Sep 29, 08:55 3
        
        He really thinks that way, doesn't he? -- nm - loosilu Sep 29, 08:59 2
        
        Not really. "Country" probably doesn't come to mind for him in that sentence. -- nm - Reagen Sep 29, 09:02
        
        Sadly, he's unearthed a cadre of people who do. -- nm - David Sep 29, 09:01
      - on that note, if you vote early but die before the election does your vote count? -- nm - mafic Sep 29, 08:52 2
        
        "The ballot of an elector who casts an absentee ballot shall be counted even if the elector dies on or before Election Day." -- (link) - JaxSean, Anti-Pumpkin Sep 29, 08:54 1

- My attempt. -- (edited) - loosilu Sep 29, 08:22
- Here's a few. How many are we supposed to get? Do they give a rating scale? - VMan Sep 29, 08:22 20
  - There is a rating scale, but I don't know how many possible words there are. You can play for free at the link, but it will cut you off - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:27 15
    - The real challenge is trying to get all the possible words. We've done it only once. Spoilers for the words we've gotten today: - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:28 14
      - Nice list. As I was thinking I wasn't thinking about double letters enough and missed some easy ones. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 29, 08:37
      - Full disclosure: a few of these are from Nick brute forcing semi-random combinations of letters. :) nm - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:37 10
        
        Brute force is totally valid. -- nm - Reagen Sep 29, 08:52
        
        Still well done. - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 29, 08:38 8
        
        I also thought I'd go back to it but once I read others replies it would have been cheating. -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 29, 08:39 7
        
        Hey man. I'm not above cheating if anyone comes up with a word not already on our list. I'm tired of missing Queen Bee by like 2 words. nm - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:41 6
        
        Cocci may work. -- (edited) - VMan Sep 29, 08:47 4
        
        Bravo! -- nm - loosilu Sep 29, 08:52
        
        Re your IM: they take some seriously bullshit words (larboard, loblolly) and reject other seemingly normal ones (babydoll). It can feel quite random. - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:51
        
        It did! And that was the last one needed for Queen Bee. Thank you so much!! nm - ralph wiggum Sep 29, 08:49 1
